SIXTY ONE

61: Epilogue ADELINEThe only time Croix spoke to me since Elijah died is to go into his room to get something he would like to be buried in. At least that’s what I took from the grunting he thought was actual words. Croix is hurting and I couldn’t do anything to make it better.I have never entered Elijah’s room before. His room happened to be the biggest room yet. I don’t know why Croix decided to give him the biggest room but I guess it’s their bond. It was cleaner than I expected and had random things like action figures, trophies, medals, toy cars and stuff like that.On the dresser were a picture I drew that I never got to complete and a picture of me. I broke into a sob and fell to my knees. I rubbed my tummy comforting myself and my baby. I haven’t told Croix that I am pregnant yet and I didn’t want any complications.I took the picture and the toy figure from his car, his beloved and got out of the room. I wonder how Sigh was holding up but I know Jules got it all covered. I

SIXTY TWO

JulesThose damn fantasies again.I can't seem to move again. The darkness taking over my sight. My wrists were pinned to the bed, above my head.The shadow materialized to a person in front of me. This has been my secret for a year and six months now. The man in my dreams.I gasped as he lowered himself to the floor, his naked chest to me revealing perfect defined abs and a v line tracing to his sweats.“Ahh…” I moaned, my back arching when his lips met my clit. “Please…” I begged. I don't know what I'm begging for exactly, for him to stop or for him to continue but it's definitely the latter.“You are so hot.” He panted after me as his thick fingers eased inside me. I let out a gasp at the intrusion.He glided them out slowly, then scissored his way further in me. He plunged in rough, the wet sounds filling the air. His tongue then plunged into me with a force that had me seeing stars. He pulled out and pulled away, his intense blue eyes on me.His pierced tongue gave me a sneak pe

SIXTY THREE

JulesI take longer than necessary just to annoy my newest bodyguard. I burnt as much anger in me on the treadmill and punching bag. It's close to being my favourite way of releasing tension.I tie my red hair in a high ponytail and wore my gym outfit knowing how much dad hates it. He prefers me in formal outfits and I don't like it. So that's the area I rebel the most.I make my way to my father's office expecting to see the new bodyguard that had me traveling all the way from New York to Russia.I knocked on the door and opened when nobody answered. My bodyguard is even late. That's a red flag.Just then, a car door parked in the driveway opened and a large black boot planted itself on the driveway. A second later, the biggest man I've ever seen unfolded himself from the front seat and stepped out.Holy. Hotness.He had to be at least six foot four, or even six foot six with solid packed muscle only achievable in a gym with so much consistency. His hair was buzzed and his long legs

SIXTY FOUR

JulesOne of the worst things about living with a bodyguard was living with them. It hadn’t been an issue with the others but living with Josiah put me on edge.Suddenly, my house seemed to look small and everywhere I , Josiah was there.Drinking coffee in the kitchen, working out in the backyard, stepping out of the shower, his skin glistening with sweat. It’s strangely domestic, a feeling I haven’t felt with the other bodyguards before him and I hate it.Despite the rising temperature and the bead of sweat rolling down my back in my light cotton clothes, Josiah must be roasting in his black shirt and workout shorts.“Trying to get me to take my shirt off?” He teased, a neutral face in place. His words would have been flirty if his face had a grin.“You wish.” It wasn’t the most inspired answer yet but it was all I could think of. Honestly, I want to see him shirtless. I bet his abs are undoubtedly another amazing sight like the rest of his body. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able

SIXTY FIVE

JulesI'm asleep again or more like pinned again.I tried moving my hands and it was pinned as well but I could hear my whimpers. He didn't hold my voice captive again.I see him standing in the shadows, a blunt in his mouth. He's shirtless and goddamn mouth-watering worthy.“No, please.” I begged. “I am married.”He didn't say a word, just stepped closer coming towards the light. His intense blue eyes on me. Where have I seen such eyes before?Then I see him. Josiah..?The next second he's on me. I stiffened. This can't be happening. I can't be dreaming about Josiah.I expected the arousal to drop and maybe I'll wake up then but it didn't instead it intensified.He ripped my nightie down exposing my breasts as I screamed. “Those fucking tits should be illegal.”I have always been an early bloomer. I'm used to people noticing them and loving them. And this man would be the first person to touch it. Yes, Knox has never touched me sexually before and it's not that I don't want it but h
